That´s what I have done to the vine at the pumpkin of plant A. The pumpkin had a short stem, and the angle wasn´t as nice as I wished it could have been, and the main vine refused my attempts of bending it into an S-curve (it was pretty cold weather around pollination time), but I wanted to let the vine continue. Now, that´s what I have done: I have terminated the true main vine a node after the pumpkin and I have chosen the secondary of this node to continue as the new main vine. I suppose it won´t bring about the full advantage of a nice S-curve of a main vine, but at least I didn´t have to terminate vine growth at the pumpkin.
